Romans
Chapter 5
1 1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace 2 with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
我们既因信德成义，便是借我们的主耶稣基督，与天主和好了。
2 through whom we have gained access (by faith) to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in hope of the glory of God.
借着耶稣我们得因信德进入了现今所站立的这恩宠中，并因希望分享天主的光荣而欢跃。
3 Not only that, but we even boast of our afflictions, knowing that affliction produces endurance,
不但如此，我们连在磨难中也欢跃，因为我们知道：磨难生忍耐，
4 and endurance, proven character, and proven character, hope,
忍耐生老练，老练生望德，
5 and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us.
望德不叫人蒙羞，因为天主的爱，借着所赐与我们的圣神，已倾注在我们心中了。
6 For Christ, while we were still helpless, yet died at the appointed time for the ungodly.
当我们还在软弱的时候，基督就在指定的时期为不虔敬的人死了。
7 Indeed, only with difficulty does one die for a just person, though perhaps for a good person one might even find courage to die. 3
为义人死，是罕有的事；为善人或许有敢死的；
8 But God proves his love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us.
但是，基督在我们还是罪人的时候，就为我们死了，这证明了天主怎样爱我们。
9 How much more then, since we are now justified by his blood, will we be saved through him from the wrath.
现在，我们既因他的血而成义，我们更要借着他脱免天主的义怒，
10 Indeed, if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of his Son, how much more, once reconciled, will we be saved by his life.
因为，假如我们还在为仇敌的时候，因着他圣子的死得与天主和好了；那么，在和好之后，我们一定更要因着他的生命得救了。
11 Not only that, but we also boast of God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
不但如此，我们现今既借着我们的主耶稣基督获得了和好，也必借着他而欢跃于天主。
12 4 Therefore, just as through one person sin entered the world, and through sin, death, and thus death came to all, inasmuch as all sinned 5 –
故此，就如罪恶借着一人进入了世界，死亡借着罪恶也进入了世界；这样死亡就殃及了众人，因为众人都犯了罪：成义也是如此──
13 for up to the time of the law, sin was in the world, though sin is not accounted when there is no law.
没有法律之前，罪恶已经在世界上；但因没有法律，罪恶本不应算为罪恶。
14 But death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin after the pattern of the trespass of Adam, who is the type of the one who was to come.
但从亚当起，直到梅瑟，死亡却作了王，连那些没有像亚当一样违法犯罪的人，也属它权下；这亚当原是那未来亚当的预像。
15 But the gift is not like the transgression. For if by that one person's transgression the many died, how much more did the grace of God and the gracious gift of the one person Jesus Christ overflow for the many.
但恩宠决不是过犯所能比的，因为如果因一人的过犯大众都死了；那么，天主的恩宠和那因耶稣基督一人的恩宠所施与的恩惠，更要丰富地洋溢到大众身上。
16 And the gift is not like the result of the one person's sinning. For after one sin there was the judgment that brought condemnation; but the gift, after many transgressions, brought acquittal.
这恩惠的效果，也不是那因一人犯罪的结果所能比的，因为审判固然是由于一人的过犯而来，被判定罪；但恩赐却使人在犯了许多过犯之后，获得成义。
17 For if, by the transgression of one person, death came to reign through that one, how much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of justification come to reign in life through the one person Jesus Christ.
如果因一人的过犯，死亡就因那一人作了王；那么，那些丰富地蒙受了恩宠和正义恩惠的人，更要借着耶稣基督一人在生命中为王了。
18 In conclusion, just as through one transgression condemnation came upon all, so through one righteous act acquittal and life came to all.
这样看来：就如因一人的过犯，众人都被定了罪；同样也一人的正义行为，众人也都获得了正义和生命。
19 For just as through the disobedience of one person the many were made sinners, so through the obedience of one the many will be made righteous.
正如因一人的悖逆，大众都成了罪人；同样，因一人的服从，大众都成了义人。
20 The law entered in 6 so that transgression might increase but, where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more,
法律本是后加的，是为增多过犯；但是罪恶在那里越多，恩宠在那里也越格外丰富，
21 7 so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through justification for eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
以致罪恶怎样借死亡为王，恩实也怎样借正义而为王，使人借着我们的主耶稣基督获得永生。
Footnotes(注解)
1 [1-11] Popular piety frequently construed reverses and troubles as punishment for sin; cf John 9:2. Paul therefore assures believers that God's justifying action in Jesus Christ is a declaration of peace. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ displays God's initiative in certifying humanity for unimpeded access into the divine presence. Reconciliation is God's gift of pardon to the entire human race. Through faith one benefits personally from this pardon or, in Paul's term, is justified. The ultimate aim of God is to liberate believers from the pre-Christian self as described in Romans 1-3. Since this liberation will first find completion in the believer's resurrection, salvation is described as future in Romans 5:10. Because this fullness of salvation belongs to the future it is called the Christian hope. Paul's Greek term for hope does not, however, suggest a note of uncertainty, to the effect: "I wonder whether God really means it." Rather, God's promise in the gospel fills believers with expectation and anticipation for the climactic gift of unalloyed commitment in the holy Spirit to the performance of the will of God. The persecutions that attend Christian commitment are to teach believers patience and to strengthen this hope, which will not disappoint them because the holy Spirit dwells in their hearts and imbues them with God's love (Romans 5:5).
2 [1] We have peace: a number of manuscripts, versions, and church Fathers read "Let us have peace"; cf Romans 14:19.
3 [7] In the world of Paul's time the good person is especially one who is magnanimous to others.
4 [12-21] Paul reflects on the sin of Adam (Genesis 3:1-13) in the light of the redemptive mystery of Christ. Sin, as used in the singular by Paul, refers to the dreadful power that has gripped humanity, which is now in revolt against the Creator and engaged in the exaltation of its own desires and interests. But no one has a right to say, "Adam made me do it," for all are culpable (Romans 5:12): Gentiles under the demands of the law written in their hearts (Romans 2:14-15), and Jews under the Mosaic covenant. Through the Old Testament law, the sinfulness of humanity that was operative from the beginning (Romans 5:13) found further stimulation, with the result that sins were generated in even greater abundance. According to Romans 5:15-21, God's act in Christ is in total contrast to the disastrous effects of the virus of sin that invaded humanity through Adam's crime.
5 [12] Inasmuch as all sinned: others translate "because all sinned," and understand v 13 as a parenthetical remark. Unlike Wisdom 2:24, Paul does not ascribe the entry of death to the devil.
6 [12-20] The law entered in: sin had made its entrance (12); now the law comes in alongside sin. See the notes on Romans 1:18-32; 5:12- 21. Where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more: Paul declares that grace outmatches the productivity of sin.
7 [21] Where sin increased, grace overflowed all the more: Paul declares that grace outmatches the productivity of sin.
